I ordered one called the Italian Stallion with no bread (I have a gluten sensitivity). I thought it would be sliced deli beef with some cheese on top. Gosh darned if they didn't bring out succulent pot roast with real and delicious cheese melted on top and some pickled cauliflower and carrots. It was extremely tasty!
